Become an Endorsed Partner

For companies looking for a more robust relationship with the Florida Bankers Association, the FBA offers the BancServ, Inc. Endorsed Partner program. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Florida Bankers Association, the mission of BancServ, Inc. is to find the companies that offer the highest quality products, services and solutions that member banks need to thrive now and in the future. Currently, BancServ endorses just 20 companies, no two of which are endorsed for the same offering.

The Process
Prospective partners are vetted by the BancServ Board of Directors and staff to ensure that only the best are awarded a BancServ endorsement. This endorsement is far from a rubber stamp. For an annual minimum fee, Endorsed Partners enjoy the full backing of the FBA.
